Giveaway! (CLOSED)

2 very important events are happening in the VERY near future! Can you guess what they are? If you said: YouGotNailz's YouTube Channel Turns 1 and flu season is coming up then you guessed correctly!

At first glance, it would appear that these two events have nothing in common, but they actually have a lot to do with each other!

Now every year, flu season beings  around the month of October. It is very important to try to stay healthy! No one likes to be sick. This is where nails come into play! One way to make your manicure last longer is to wash your hands well before applying polish. The best way to stay healthy, even during flu season, is to do the same! Who knew beauty and health were so closely related?!

So the moral of the story is....Wash your hands often! Nail polish sticks better to clean nails and germs won't stick to clean hands!

On September 22, 2011, I created the YouGotNailz YouTube Channel as a place where I could create and upload nail art tutorials! One year and over 1000 subscribers later, here we are! To celebrate my channel's birthday and to help educate about hand washing during flu season, enter my rafflecopter giveaway!

There are a few different ways to enter and the more options you complete, the more times your name is entered to win! The winner will be chosen randomly by rafflecopter and will receive a Panda Nail Brush, to help scrub those nails and keep you germ free, and some surprise nail art supplies!

Contest begins September 16 and ends September 22! Have fun! :)

So far, I have seen the BCBG Max Azria show streaming live! I really loved some of the looks I saw. You will see lots of fun lines and creative geometric shapes in colors that include black, white, creme, tangerine and a periwinkle blue.

P.S. I just caught the end of the Carolina Herrera show...can I just say that I am so ready for spring! I am totally loving the colors and flowy fabrics! Here's to a fast winter and an early spring arrival!

Seeing Stars, In My Nail Polish At Least!

A few days ago, this beautiful polish caught my eye at the store. It was multicolored chunky star glitters suspended in a clear coat. I instantly had to have it. The polish is 'Hollywood Walk of Fame' from singer Fergie's new collection with Wet N' Wild.

Since my nails were feeling rather neglected, (I had not changed the color in almost a week!), I had to use my new polish right away. It was hard deciding what color to put underneath but I ultimately decided to go with a purple from Zoya called 'Mira.'

The end result? A fun, bright look that is sure to send off summer with a bang!

Fall Collections of 2012

The leaves aren't the only thing that will be changing color this fall season! Almost every major nail polish brand has or will release a fall collection this year and that means it's time to get painting! 

Every year, we see a typical color cycle. Winter brings shimmer, shine and darker colors. Spring gives us cremes in every pastel shade imaginable. Summer brings us the neons, and fall gives us the warmer tones of the rainbow.

This fall will be no exception. There are so many great colors from brands including OPI, Essie, China Glaze and others! Below is a preview of just a few fall collections. 

From Nars we will get the Andy Warhol colletion. This collection, inspired by the famed artist, will have 8 colors. The polishes will be available at Sephora beginning October 1st. Mark your calendars because these colors are great!

OPI never fails to impress. Their fall collection, inspired by Germany, consists of 12 colors. These colors range from neutrals like 'Don't Pretzel My Buttons' to brighter hues like the red 'Deutsch You Want Me Baby.' The polishes are available now wherever OPI colors are sold.

China Glaze gave us the Safari collection for fall a bit early this year! (It was released sometime in July.) These wild colors have great names to match. There are two teal-green shades, a hot color for this season, that are particularly special. 'Exotic Encounters' and 'Elephant Walk' are sure to have you running to the beauty supply store cheetah-fast.

Last but not least we have Essie's fall collection, 'Stylenomics.' While less varied than the collections above, there is still a gem or two to be found. The deep burgundy-fuchsia  color, 'Skirting the Issue' really fits the fall theme. The dark green color 'Stylenomics' is also a fun and different option not found in the other collections.
